Get ready to flash forwards 30 years to give unsuspecting lovers a glimpse at their future selves — and keep your tissues close!
Before a big secret is revealed, husbands and wives tell their partners to walk down a mysterious corridor and meet them behind the brown door ahead. As their partners head down the hallway, they see the walls are lined with framed photos of their relationship's landmarks, from wedding days to baby births. When they finally open the door, they're met with their spouses — who have been completely made up with wrinkles and white hair, as if three decades have gone by.
According to an Emirates rep, an especially heartwarming moment took place "where the husband and wife had previously fought in the day, and both showed up in a bad mood. But when the husband saw his wife aged at the end, the tension dissolved immediately and the emotions were overwhelming. It was a beautiful moment and one of them told us that they realized that time was too short to spend being angry at each other."
This is actually an ad campaign for Emirates NBD, a popular bank in the Middle East. The company created the video to encourage young adults to look ahead and start saving for retirement. Personally, I think they achieved something much deeper and more powerful.
